Oil and the lucky country
Australia has a reputation as being the "lucky country". I am a firm believer that "luck" is simply where preparation meets opportunity. In other words, being lucky is no accident. If we are to remain the "lucky country" however, we need to adapt as circumstances change. Nowhere is this more pertinent than in adapting to Australia's future oil supply.
Before we start considering this issue, it is vitally important to understand why energy is so important to our economy. Energy is important because it allows us to do work. Work is important because it is the basis of all economic activity. So the more energy we have, the more work that can be done and the greater the level of economic activity. If we continue to expand the amount of energy that is available then so too will the level of economic activity, resulting in what we call growth.
Of course, the opposite situation is also true. If the available energy declines, the amount of work that can be done declines as does economic activity. The result is economic contraction or what is commonly called a recession or depression.
Oil just happens to be both Australia's and the world's primary energy source. With this in mind, let's have a look at Australia's likely future oil supply.
Chart one details ABAREs projection for Australian oil consumption and Geoscience Australia's predictions of Australian oil production. The chart shows that Australia will become increasingly dependant upon oil imports, potentially reaching a reliance of 85 per cent by 2025.
Chart One: Australia's projected oil consumption and production. Data sourced from here (PDF 35KB).
Where will this oil come from? There are a number of factors that make it unlikely that Australia will be able to import this quantity of oil. These include:
- continued growth in demand for oil, particularly from nations such as China and India;
- the majority of the world's oil producing nations are past their domestic peak in oil production. This includes the majority of OECD nations which are net oil importers and will have an increasing call on oil imports as their domestic production declines; and
- many oil exporting nations are also past their peak in oil production. Combined with increased domestic consumption, this results in a rapid decline in oil exports.
The net result is that the quantity of oil available for Australia to import in the future will decline. Chart two, prepared using data from the US Government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that oil exports from the world's top five oil exporters are already in decline, as are the exports from those countries that Australia imports the majority of its oil from (table one).
Chart two: oil exports from the world's top five oil exporters
Table One: export situation of top five countries that Australia imports oil from. All data sourced from here.
Two oil analysts who have been investigating declining oil exports suggest that the average rate of decline in oil exports from the top five oil exporters will be 6.2 per cent +/- 4 per cent per annum. With demand for oil imports growing, this situation will likely result in demand destruction, higher oil prices and physical shortages.
Australia's oil supply consists of our domestic oil production and oil imports. Combining Geoscience Australia's prediction for future Australian oil production with imports declining at 6.2 per cent +/- 4 per cent per annum provides three indications of Australia's future oil supply, as shown in chart three. There are a number of assumptions used in developing this model, they are:
Australia imports limited oil from the world's top five oil exporters. However the production from large oil producing regions declines at a slower rate than smaller oil producing regions. Therefore applying the 6.2 per cent +/- 4 per cent pa decline rates is likely to be a more optimistic decline rate than that which will apply to Australia's major oil providers. This is further supported by the annual percentage declines in exports from Australia's major oil providers shown in table one.
That Australia can import its current percentage of the world's declining oil export base. There is and will continue to be intense competition from all oil importing nations for the declining world oil export base. This includes the majority of OECD nations and rising powers such as China and India. Maintaining this percentage will be a very difficult task to achieve.
The model does not account for geopolitical factors that could reduce oil available for export. Examples of such factors include civil unrest in oil exporting nations, war, bilateral arrangements, such as those recently signed between Russia and China, and exporters deciding to produce less oil in order to maximise their profits and save oil wealth for future generations, as Saudi Arabia is doing.
Does not include alternative fuels. However according to the Commonwealth Government's National Energy Security Assessment, these are unlikely to be more than niche fuels out to 2023 (the latest forecast prediction) and therefore are unlikely to make more than a minor contribution to Australia's fuel supply.
Does not consider the cost of oil. It is likely that the oil will become increasingly volatile and costly, continuing the trend of the last five years. Indeed there have been numerous comments from the International Energy Agency and other organisations warning that the current oil price and reduction in credit as a result of the global financial crisis will result in another oil price spike when demand for oil recovers.
It only considers the net difference between consumption and domestic production. Australia exports a large percentage of its oil production due to a combination of the location of its oil fields and the grades of oil they produce. Australian refineries are optimised for different grades of oil, therefore our dependence on imported oil is actually higher than that indicated in chart one.
Chart three: scenario's for Australia's future oil supply.
Chart three is a sobering assessment of Australia's future oil supply and raises a number of questions about current policy and the future of the "lucky country". These questions include:
- how effective will Government "stimulus packages" be that do not consider this problem?;
- can economic growth be maintained as the availability of our primary energy supply declines? Do we need another economic model?;
- how will our transportation systems work if the population grows but the amount of oil available halves?;
- how will we feed a growing population as oil supplies decline?;
- why are investments in public transport a poor cousin to car based infrastructure?;
- what is the future of industries such as aviation, tourism and automotive?; and
- what worth will superannuation have in the decades ahead?
The answers to these questions are fundamental to the future of Australia. The magnitude of the changes required to adapt to a declining oil supply imply a cost measured on a billion dollar scale and time measured in decades. Yet this issue barely rates a mention in most forums of public debate. Unless we collectively come to terms with this problem, and quickly, it is hard to see the "lucky country" remaining lucky for much longer.

Clarks say good-bye to car dealership
A dealership that has been a part of Wapakoneta since 1931 and has been owned by the Clark family for 59 years was sold to new owners in January.
Jerry and Terry Clark, previous owners of Clark Ford Sales, said they have been making preparations to sell for nearly a year and are currently undergoing the transition of leaving the business.
The couple said they decided to sell because their children were not interested in taking over. Their daughter, Wendy, teaches music in Sidney City Schools, and their son, Andy, is completing his second degree in film studies in San Francisco State College.
After turning down a few deals with buyers who wanted to move the dealership out of Wapakoneta, the Clarks found someone willing to stay in the same location — Kurt and Cindy Dennis, of the Columbus area. The Clarks turned it over on Jan. 31, 2014.
"We wanted our employees to be able to keep their jobs," Terry said. "We feel fortunate that we were able to find a buyer who would keep the dealership here in Wapak, keep the current employees and continue with the Ford franchise."
For the full story, see the Friday, Feb. 28 edition of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

Nokia X to hit Indian shores on March 15; priced at Rs 8,500
Nokia's much-awaited Android-based 'Nokia X' will be available in India from March 15, as the Finnish firm takes head-on the likes of Samsung and Micromax to grab a share of the burgeoning affordable smartphone market.
Priced at Rs 8,500, Noxia X is a dual SIM handset featuring a four-inch touchscreen, dual core 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and supports expandable memory up to 32GB.
The smartphone is already available for pre-booking on electronics retailer The Mobile Store and lists the availability date as March 15.
It has a 3MP rear camera and is powered by Android Jellybean OS.
Smartphone sales in India grew almost three-fold to over 41.1 million in 2013, buoyed by a strong uptake of affordable devices made by local firms such as Micromax and Karbonn, according to CyberMedia Research.
Availability of affordable smartphones drove smartphone sales, while feature phones sales fell 0.2 per cent in 2013.
Samsung led the smartphone market, followed by Micromax and Karbonn.
The Finnish firm, whose handset business was bought by Microsoft last year, had unveiled its Nokia X range of smartphones -- X, X+ and XL -- powered by Google's Android operating system at the Mobile World Congress on February 24.
It had said Nokia X will be rolled out (prices starting starting at 89 euros or about Rs 7,500) in Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
The Nokia X+ and Nokia XL are expected to roll out in these markets starting early second quarter, priced at 99 euros (Rs 8,300) and 109 euros (Rs 9,200), respectively.
The phones are not pure Android phones but run a variant of Android. Nokia has taken the open-source elements of Android and added elements of Asha and Microsoft's Windows Phone to offer its users a different experience.
Nokia X has been launched in Malaysia for 399 Malaysian Ringgit (about Rs 7,500).

Prevent repetitive strain injury (RSI), with tips on relaxation and adjusting your computer.
The condition mostly affects parts of the upper body, such as the forearm, elbow, wrist, hands, shoulders and neck.
RSI is usually associated with doing a particular activity repeatedly or for a long period of time.
Find out more about the symptoms and the treatment of RSI.
These practical tips can help reduce your risk of developing RSI and other related disorders that can arise from working with computers.
Making sure your desk equipment is properly set up and adjusted to your specifications is the first step in preventing RSI.
Get advice on how to sit correctly to make sure you're sitting in the right position and your desk is set up the right way.
The standard keyboard and mouse are adjustable devices with settings that you can change in the same way you might adjust your office chair.
Various types of non-standard keyboards are available. They may improve the positioning of your hands.
Some people find the standard mouse uncomfortable as it involves twisting the wrist. Alternative mice and other pointing devices are worth investigating.
You could also consider speech recognition software, which allows you to control your phone or a computer application by using your voice.
Ask your workplace about getting a workstation assessment.
Don't sit in the same position for long periods. Short, regular breaks can help prevent RSI and other upper limb disorders.
It lets the muscles relax while others take the strain. This can prevent you becoming stiff and tense.
Most jobs provide opportunities to take a break from the screen, such as photocopying or printing. Try to make use of them.
If there are no such natural breaks in your job, your employer should plan for you to have rest breaks.

If I had to pinpoint what celebrity chef's style of cooking I relate to the most, I would have to answer "Ina Garten". Though I am a fan of other Food Network Stars like Tyler Florence and Ann Burrell, to name a few, Ina's recipes are user-friendly and always a winner for me. I recently purchased Ina's cookbook "Back to Basics".
My son was flipping through it, with me, and he stopped at Ina's "Tagliarelle with truffle butter".
My son loves pasta, so he pleaded with me to make this recipe. He even ordered black truffle butter from the grocery store where works.
Truthfully, I think truffles are highly overrated. The last time I ordered dinner at a swanky restaurant in Carmel, CA (my home turf) I received four scallops with tissue paper thin black truffles for $40.00! Vegetables and the salad cost extra, by the way. Personally, I'd rather taste cremini mushrooms in a lovely garlic and wine sauce for a lot less money.
But, that's me...
The recipe was very simple to make. Heavy cream, freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, pasta, salt & pepper and herbs. I used black truffle butter instead of white truffle butter, because that's what my son ordered for me. It cost $8.00 for 3 oz. of it.
When making the sauce, it doesn't thicken up that much. I was very tempted to help it along, but once I poured it into the cooked pasta, the liquid did absorb and all was well.
I think there must've been no more than a thumbnail size black truffle (if that), chopped up into fine pieces. I used parpardelle pasta, from Trader Joe's.
TIP: I place a cup into my pasta strainer to remind me to reserve pasta water, in case my dish becomes dried. Pasta water revives it perfectly!
I have a LOT of chives and parsley in my herb garden, which makes a nice garnish for this simple pasta dish.
It's a fast recipe to make, I will say that. I bought fresh petrale sole that I dredged in seasoned flour and then egg and cooked with a little olive oil and butter.
To give the plate a little color and vegetables, I steamed fresh broccoli with lemon juice.
It's a very simple weeknight dinner-- and a lot less expensive to make at home. My son loved his hoity toity truffle pasta, and he ate most of it. That's what makes a foodie wife and mom happy.
I just noticed that yesterday was my 100th post! To celebrate, I'm making an encore recipe for Raspberry Buttermilk Cake. This Gourmet Magazine recipe has been floating around blogosphere for weeks, and I've bookmarked it multiple times. The first time I made it, I used my abundance of olallieberries. It is not only easy, it's delicious! If you haven't made this recipe, please do so now. It's so simple-- you can use peaches, strawberries, blueberries or any kind of berry to make this cake. OMG! I kept licking the batter, knowing this was going to be high on my "keeper list". It disappeared so fast, I never had a chance to photograph it once it was sliced! I wish that I could share a piece of this with each one of you.
Thank you for making food blogging so much fun, and for stopping by to see what's cooking at my home. You are all a group of delightful and friendly foodies-- and I wish we could all gather together in one place. What a blast that would be!

Coach steps down after 31 years
July 28, 2010
Courtesy of North Dakota Athletics
GRAND FORKS, N.D. - After 31 years, nine individual NCAA champions, 58 All-Americans and 29 academic All-Americans, University of North Dakota head men's track and field and cross country coach Mike Grandall announced his retirement and resignation on Tuesday.
The longest-tenured member of UND's coaching staff, Grandall had spent the past 28 years at the helm of UND's men's track and cross country programs. Grandall joined the UND athletics department in 1979 as a track and field and cross country graduate assistant coach. In 1980 he was named women's cross country head coach, a position he would hold until 1984. He took over the men's track and cross country programs prior to the 1982-83 season.
"We are grateful to coach Grandall for his long service to the University of North Dakota and wish him well in his retirement," said UND Director of Athletics Brian Faison.
Grandall inherited a men's track program that had not had an All-American since 1977 or a national champion since 1969 and guided it to unprecedented heights. Three of his student-athletes, Steve Burian, Dave Levos and Norm McGee, are already enshrined in the UND Letterwinners Association Hall of Fame.
Grandall's teams earned a pair of NCAA national finishes, placing eighth in 1985 and tying for ninth in 1987.
"It has really been an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to coach and work at the University of North Dakota and represent the city and the state," said Grandall. "Having been given the opportunity by (UND) President (Tom) Clifford to work with all of the supporters of the program, the people across campus and within the athletics department and, of course, the student-athletes was an unforgettable experience."
"As I look back on the fond memories of competing in the North Central Conference and at the Division II level and as we move forward into Division I, I felt it was time for me to move into retirement," said Grandall.
During Grandall's tenure, his student-athletes won 63 North Central Conference and Great West Conference event championships. Fifty-two of UND's 55 current indoor and outdoor school records were established under Grandall's watch.
In the classroom, 29 of Grandall's student-athletes earned academic All-America honors. In 2008, UND was named the Outdoor Track and Field Scholar Team of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCA).
Grandall is a native of Lignite, N.D., where he won the North Dakota State Class B title in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and is a 1970 graduate of Minot State. Grandall coached and taught at Mohall (N.D.) High School from 1970-1976 and 1977-79 until coming to UND in 1979 to complete his master's degree in physical education.
Faison indicated that Grandall's departure will result in a restructuring of UND's track and field programs.
"Given the timing of Coach Grandall's decision to retire, I have asked women's cross country and track and field head coach Dick Clay to assume administrative responsibility for both the men's and women's programs for the coming year," said Faison. "At the same time, we will look to restructure the track program to focus upon providing more specific event coaching for our student-athletes."

EUROPA REPORT - Bear McCreary
"The spirit of Kubrick looms large here -- not just in the basic plot architecture, but also in the eerie stillness of the compositions, the balletic motion of model machinery, and the majestic swell of Bear McCreary's score. (Non-diegetic music is admissible as a dramatic choice of the fictional 'presenters.' Also, because the tunes kill.)"
A.A. Dowd, The Onion
"Another obstacle to taking the movie seriously is that its look and feel are a little too fashionably distressed. The crackling noise, fractured images and data dropouts make 'Europa Report' resemble a Daft Punk music video more than a testament to a deep-space disaster. (Curiously, Bear McCreary's rippling score features violins, not synthesizers.)"
Mark Jenkins, NPR
"However, credit is also due to Director of Photography Enrique Chediak, who captures the claustrophobic atmosphere of the space ship and the bleak, frightening landscape of Europa memorably, and the score by Bear McCreary who blends classical and contemporary sounds and techniques to enhance the film's ambience."
Tony Medley, Tolucan Times
"The editors carve a clear enough path through d.p. Enrique Chediak's extensive camera coverage, at times using quick cuts and split screens to playful effect, and Bear McCreary's fine string-based score is aptly underplayed before coming resoundingly to the fore during the closing credits."
Justin Chang, Variety
"Technical credits are first-rate. Cinematographer Enrique Chediak ('127 Hours') and production designer Eugenio Caballero, who won an Oscar for his work on Pan's Labyrinth, contribute to the movie's visual vitality. Bear McCreary's tense, haunting score is also a major asset. (Film buffs will appreciate a brief musical homage to Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.') "
Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
2 GUNS - Clinton Shorter
"The action is helmed efficiently, and with blessedly little CGI, by Baltasar Kormakur, who directed Wahlberg in 'Contraband' but started by making arty little films in his native Iceland. Kormakur's work is well supported by Michael Tronick's taut editing and Clinton Shorter's rousing if predictable ambient-blues score."

Norwalk oystering sloop Hope gets a new life
NORWALK -- For Norwalk native Shenton King, the nearly 70-year-old oystering sloop The Hope is more than a boat.
It represents a time in history when people made things by hand and without modern tools, a time he wants his 4-month-old son, Paxton, to know about.
"Children need to know that people like the Chard family of oystermen -- who built this boat by hand -- were able to because they were skilled in the art of boat-building," King said.
The sloop was recently decommissioned from its duty as a floating display at the Maritime Aquarium and put up for sale by the Norwalk Seaport Association, giving King the opportunity to demonstrate this knowledge to his son.
He bought the vessel and is now working to put wind back in its sails.
"It's a piece of Norwalk. Every time you would go over Washington Street bridge, you would see it on display there as part of the Maritime Aquarium," said King, who resides in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport.
King said his goal is to have it in the water by next summer so he can take his family out on it to watch fireworks and take friends out for wine, cheese and cracker cruises. When the boat is ready, it will also be available for use by the seaport association.
"It would be great to pull oysters with this thing again," King said. "They did it in 1991, which was the last official restoration. They sailed this up to Bridgeport and they pulled oysters from their natural beds. It was in gorgeous condition then."
On Thursday, King, his wife, Kelcey, and Paxton were at Cove Marina in Norwalk to watch as The Hope got its hull painted. It's just the beginning of the sloop's complete overhaul. He will have the help of his own Norwalk-based company, King Industries Inc., which manufactures additives for paints and lubricants, as well as assistance from the Norm Bloom and Son Oyster Co. and shipwright Joshua Herman, of Long Island, N.Y.
It's not the first time King has been involved with the boat. His father, Richard, was president of the Norwalk Seaport Association when it first took ownership of The Hope in 1981.
"I have great family memories on this boat," King said. "I had been on it several times as a kid. It's just a cool, big, old boat."
Constructed between 1945-48, the Hope was designed by oysterman Stanley Chard and built on Brush Island in Greenwich's Indian Harbor by Chard and his nephews, William and Clarence Chard. Its keel is said to have been hewn from a giant white oak on Brush Island felled during a hurricane. The frame and planking are of white oak trees cut on the then-Benedict estate across the harbor from Brush Island. All of this was cut into lumber at a sawmill in Norwalk's Silvermine section.
Chard launched The Hope in summer 1948 and used it to work the local oyster and clamming beds among his competitors aboard more modern vessels powered by motors. The name was an optimistic response to a declining oystering industry plagued by pollution and hungry sea stars. Upon retiring, Chard converted it to an excursion boat.
In 1971, Chard sold The Hope to Jack Spratt, of Greenwich, a musician, longtime member of the Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department band, and owner of a woodwind store in town, according to Spratt's obituary.
Spratt gave the boat some upgrades and used it for family sailing for a decade out of the Old Greenwich Yacht Club. He sold the boat to the Seaport Association in 1981.
The Hope needs constant upkeep and occasional major work to stay afloat. In addition to painting the hull to prep it for winter in the water off Cove Marina, The Hope's seams along the wood planking had to be checked to make sure they are tight and don't let water in.
"Rainwater has been its worst enemy," King said.
In the spring, King will bring the boat to King Industries to focus on refurbishing the deck. In the meantime, he will work to restore the mast, with the help of Herman.
"Joshua helped me pull the mast out a couple of weeks ago," King said. "We found coins under the mast. It's a shipbuilding tradition.
"Every time you build a ship and set a mast in the boat, you have to put a coin from the year of the build. It's good luck. Norm Bloom said to me, `Don't lose those coins.' "

"The National Fatwa Council has ruled that tomboyism, where a girl behaves or dresses in a boyish manner, is forbidden in Islam."
Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said the decision was prompted by recent developments as there had been cases of young women inclined to behave like men and indulging in homosexuality.
Parents must stop their children from indulging in disruptive activities that are against Islamic teachings, he told reporters here yesterday.

What is CARE?
The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education, Inc. (CARE) is a nonsecular educational organization dedicated to assembling research and disseminating information on the healing properties and therapeutic applications of essential oils. This is accomplished by the sponsorship of seminars, hands-on workshops, and the publication of various books and DVDs.
The focus of the program is to teach Raindrop Technique and associated skills, as originated and taught by D. Gary Young. This is accomplished through a series of courses that anyone can take. These include the History of Anointing with Oils & Laying On of Hands, Applied Vitaflex, Raindrop Technique, Emotional Release, Essential Oil Science and Chemistry, Basic Principles of Aromatherapy as well as Hands-on Practice and other Healing Skills.
The CARE Program also offers the opportunity to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS), a Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH), a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS), and/or a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI).
CARE Classes are unusual or unique in many ways:
(1) CARE Classes are small with no more than 10 students per instructor to insure close supervision in hands-on training;
(2) In CARE Raindrop Technique classes, a Raindrop Technique lecture and demonstration is given. Then, each participant receives a session and facilitates two sessions. Thus, each participant in the CARE Raindrop classes (8 hrs) gets to see a Raindrop, experience a Raindrop, and practice doing Raindrop twice with supervision. In this way, everyone taking a CARE class is assured of going home being able to do the Raindrop Technique;
(3) The chemistry and science portions are presented in simple lucid terms understandable by anyone whether having a background in sciences or not.
(4) All topics taught in CARE Classes are accompanied with sets of notes Pin by Eshays, LLC on Custom Nike Roshes | Pinterest | Nike roshe given out to all students. There may also be a bookstore offered with books and DVDs to purchase that parallel and support what is offered in class.
(5) CARE classes are taught only by Certified CARE Instructors who have completed a rigorous training program that prepares them not only in knowing the material, but in how to teach the material as well.
(6) CARE Classes address all aspects of ourselves: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual and relate most class materials, even chemistry, Pin by Eshays, LLC on Custom Nike Roshes | Pinterest | Nike roshe to scripture.
(7) Once you have taken and paid for a CARE Class, you may repeat it for half price anywhere, any time, with any CARE Instructor. Many have taken the entire CARE Curriculum more than once, finding deeper insights and understanding each time.
(8) The complete CARE Certification Program toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) involves 23 requirements (164 hrs). However, once the first 11 requirements (72 hrs) are fulfilled, you are eligible to apply to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS) and Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH) which makes it legal for you to facilitate Raindrop in all 50 States and Provinces of Canada. Becoming a CRTS is possible only through CARE.
(9) Completing all 23 requirements to become a CCI makes you eligible to become a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS). Becoming a BCRS is possible only through CARE. Click on item in sidebar to the right for more information.
(10) CARE trains more people in Raindrop, Vitaflex, and related topics than any other organization in the world. Anyone willing and able to invest the time, effort, and resources to fulfill the 23 requirements of the CARE Curriculum can join the CARE Faculty become a part of CARE's global

Thus, CCIs may pass on their expertise to others who, upon completion Pin by Eshays, LLC on Custom Nike Roshes | Pinterest | Nike rosh of the program, may do likewise in their own communities. In this way, the educational process of learning to perform and teach raindrop and other healing arts becomes locally available and self-duplicating with the capability of reaching thousands who would not otherwise have access to such training. CARE International is a self-replicating education program that will eventually reach millions throughout the world.
It is CARE's vision that some day proper therapeutic application of essential oils will become common household knowledge and Raindrop Technique will be a skill practiced by parents, spouses, and friends everywhere, and by professionals as well.
PROPRIETARY INTERESTS AND OILS USED: The oils used in CARE Classes are exclusively from Young Living Essential Oils, Inc., a network marketing company. All CARE Instructors are active Young Living Distributors.

NOAA Emphasizes Importance of Using New Elevations in Louisiana Reconstruction, Recovery Projects
Officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced today that new elevations for more than 340 bench marks in southern Louisiana have been published. The newly published values will provide official elevations in 27 parishes across the southern part of Louisiana that experienced damages from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The announcement was made today at a ceremony attended by U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu in Galliano, La.
This network of elevation bench marks, with additional Global Positioning Station (GPS) Continuously Operated Reference Stations (CORS), establishes an essential new network of vertical control to serve as benchmarks for south Louisiana. A large portion of the funding for this project was provided through a cooperative agreement between NOAA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and included the cooperation of the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center at Louisiana State University located in Baton Rouge, La.
"Users should avoid using older, outdated bench marks for vertical control," said NOAA National Geodetic Survey director Dave Zilkoski. "These new heights are considerably more accurate than those measured previously."
Use of the new elevations and vertical control network continues to be paramount in supporting hurricane recovery, repair and construction efforts. These new elevations and the control network will be needed in the future to enable projects such as evacuation routes, restoration projects and hurricane protection levee projects.
"NOAA's National Ocean Service recognizes the importance of continuing to support the rebuilding and restoration efforts in Louisiana by providing accurate bench marks made possible through this cooperative effort with FEMA," said John H. Dunnigan, NOAA assistant administrator for the National Ocean Service. "One of NOAA's central missions is promoting public safety and preparedness. These new, accurate elevations are a significant contribution to that effort."
Planners will be better equipped to determine road and bridge heights relative to water and ground levels from this data, thus assuring restructured evacuation routes and shipping lanes will have the appropriate clearance to avoid flooding and obstructions.
NOAA and the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center have made significant efforts to establish outreach and education throughout the coastal parishes. Meetings have been held with officials to explain the new data points and offer training in the use and extension of the more accurate elevation points now available. NOAA also continues to coordinate with officials from FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to explain the new benchmarks and instruct users on the use of these new technologies. The use of the Global Positioning System and NOAA's Continuously Operating Reference Stations will continue to provide accurate elevation reference points as the region recovers from the impacts of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
NOAA officials noted it is critical that users of the elevation data apply it in accordance with new approaches being developed, and work with the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center to improve the geospatial reference system in Louisiana. While there will be fewer specific benchmarks maintained, the overall accuracy of the heights will be maintained for longer periods.
NOAA officials emphasized that NOAA does not predict the rates of subsidence nor attempt to determine its causes in Louisiana or elsewhere. NOAA is the supplier of data used by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state agencies, academics, emergency planners, engineers, surveyors, environmental restoration efforts, and others to determine those rates based on various models.
The new elevations will assist in the on-going statewide effort in Louisiana to improve the accuracy of the state's survey benchmarks. The original announcement of this height modernization effort was made in July 2005 at a New Orleans news conference.
Currently, NOAA's National Geodetic Survey is analyzing the historical leveling, new leveling and GPS surveys. The data is being feed into updated scientific models to provide more accurate elevations on a number of additional benchmarks in southern Louisiana.
The Louisiana Spatial Reference Center was established in 2002 at Louisiana State University in response to users' and public safety needs. The Reference Center operates in partnership with NOAA to develop and provide height modernization procedures in Louisiana to share technology development with others.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts, and protects.

text: Finally…Some Good Corn Market News January 10, 2014 10:28 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Just when you thought the corn market was full steam ahead on a bearish train, USDA shares a few surprises. A challenging spring, coupled with a hot and dry summer, left most corn and soybean producers dismal about yield prospects. Yet, reports of higher-than-expected yields for corn and soybeans were common across the country this past fall. Headed into the Jan. 10 USDA reports, most analysts were expecting to see USDA revise its yield estimates and total productions. USDA has been known to throw a few curveballs, and Friday's laundry list of reports did not disappoint. "Everyone, including myself, was fooled that the corn crop got bigger," says Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group. USDA estimates the 2013 U.S. average corn yield at 158.8 bu./acre, which is down 1.6 bushels from the November forecast but 35.4 bushels above the 2012 average yield of 123.4. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 87.7 million acres, up slightly from both the November forecast and 2012. Hear Gulke's full audio analysis: Gulke says USDA decreased the average corn yield, while increasing the harvested acres to result in a reduction in production of 74 million bushels. "Corn demand was increased 100 million bushels in feed & residual and 50 million bushels in ethanol usage, in spite of the concerns of EPA reducing the mandate," he says. Corn stored in all positions on Dec. 1, 2013 totaled 10.4 billion bushels, up 30% from Dec. 1, 2012. Regardless of the decrease in ending stocks, Gulke says, the U.S. still has a sufficient corn supply. A Line in the Corn Price Sand Following the reports, Gulke says, the corn market exhibited major technical key reversals. "We kind of now know what the low is for old-crop corn," he says, with the low coming in between $4 and $4.20. "Anything below that should signal to the rest of the world that we have corn pretty cheap," he says. This is finally some positive news for the corn market he says. "We needed this good news for corn ahead of planting," he says. As thoughts now turn to spring planting, Gulke says, corn is now less likely to lose acres. "We probably won't reduce corn acres as much as we thought," he says. "The market is telling us we might need 92 million acres of corn next year, especially if we have a weather issue. Now we have an interesting program going forward with weather playing a bigger part than we thought it would, just yesterday." For soybeans, Gulke says the reports came in as everybody thought. USDA estimates soybean production in 2013 totaled 3.29 billion bushels, up 1% from the Nov. 1 forecast and up 8% from 2012, making the 2013 production the third largest on record. The 2013 U.S. average soybean yield was pegged at 43.3 bu./acre, 0.3 bushel above the Nov. 1 forecast and 3.5 bushels above last year's yield. March, May and July 2014 corn contracts all closed the week around 20 cents higher. The three nearest soybean contracts also finished the week positive. Will these trends continue? "We'll see how the market reacts next week," Gulke says. Have a question for Jerry? Contact him at 815-721-4705 or email@example.com.

Eternal Cocteau
Jean Cocteau: Lettres à André Gide (avec quelques réponses d'André Gide)
Professional Secrets
Cocteau led a fabled life, full of signs and wonders, some comic, some tragic. Of course he was very modern and very perverse, but he was, I think, a sort of Galahad, a Galahad, perhaps, of opéra bouffe. What made him a Galahad was his desire to be driven by "unknown forces," "to make a report," as he says, "for an Intelligence Service that is difficult to place," to plague, at the court of the Ballets Russes, Serge de Diaghilev, he with his "watery eye cast down with the curve of a Portuguese oyster," and no doubt his King Arthur—to plague the impresario until he gave him the clarion call: Etonne-moi, "the first notes of a period that were struck in 1912, and would only end with my death."
What made Cocteau a bit of a buffoon were his scandals, his feuds; his apparently constitutional restlessness (often remarked upon by Picasso and Colette); his spindly, pulsating, dandified figure; his face, which, in repose, would suggest that of a seminarian, but, when animated, with his heraldic nose and unloved mouth, that of a harlequin; and, lastly, of course, his not infrequent inability to take "dictation from the gods" except when before a packed house.
His career, that astonishing array of poems and plays, films and essays, ballets and novels, drawings and sculpture, so often regarded as a revue, a spectacle, as anything and everything but an oeuvre, was, like his character, never easy, and disturbing to many. In Francis Steegmuller's book, for instance, a balanced, very vivid biography, we come across a letter from Cocteau to his mother, written when he was in his early thirties, a few months before the premiere of Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel, a jeu de théâtre which, along with Parade and Le Boeuf sur le toit, Cocteau would offer, ingratiatingly enough, as a "calculated insult to the public"—and two years or so away from probably the reverberating event of his life, the sudden and shocking death of his protégé and lover, the dazzling Raymond Radiguet. ("In three days," the typhoid-ridden, twenty-year-old novelist had predicted, "I will be shot by God's soldiers…. The order has been given.") It was a death which plunged Cocteau into despair, drugs, and a fleeting return to the church of his childhood.
His mother, with whom he dined regularly throughout his life, was a genteel haute bourgeoise in lace, prayer book in hand, but also the pretty first-nighter Cocteau always remembered dressing for the red and the gold (le mal rouge et or: Baudelaire's phrase), for what he called as a boy "the great forbidden theater." Here, in the letter, adopting a tone he rarely assumed, Cocteau remonstrates with his maman, as he would do increasingly with so many others, over the sorry condemnation, which followed him to the grave, of having scattered his talents, both ethically and aesthetically—in other words, of having wasted his life.
"Pull yourself together," you say? That's a good one. Don't you realize…

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Police in Cambodia broke up a protest Sunday that was meant to highlight the oppression of Cambodia's people by political figures, including allegedly by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the late despot Pol Pot.
The protest sought to point out on the eve of a historic visit by President Barack Obama that U.S. actions were allegedly partly responsible for the rise of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge and their genocidal rule.
Protest organizer Theary Seng called her action "Poetic Justice Dart Games," with pictures of Kissinger and others emblazoned on poster-sized dart boards set up on a busy riverside boulevard.
Although the protest was peaceful, police began removing the posters soon after they were set up, even as Theary Seng sought to negotiate with them.
When they took them away, she engaged in a running tug of war to protect her last poster, falling to the ground at one point before policemen gained the upper hand and took it as she yelled "Cowards, Cowards" at them.
Kissinger directed U.S. foreign policy during the Nixon Administration when it carried out large-scale secret bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War. Some historians blame the bombing for embittering Cambodians and ushering in radical communist Khmer Rouge rule that left 1.7 million people dead.
Theary Sang says Cambodia's current government is also an enemy of freedom. Theary Seng heads the Association of Khmer Rouge Victims in Cambodia, which was listed as a sponsor of the protest along with other activist groups.
"We see this unprecedented visit of U.S. President Barack Obama to Cambodia, on the heel of his exciting re-election, as a great occasion to offer a much glaringly, painfully delayed apology to Khmer victims for the destruction of Cambodia — the illegal U.S. bombings which gave rise to the diabolical reign of the Khmer Rouge," Theary Seng said in a statement before the protest.
Surviving Khmer Rouge leaders are currently on trial for their alleged roles in the 1975-79 regime's bloody excesses, while Kissinger has been castigated for decades by his critics as a would-be war criminal.
Theary Seng is a Cambodian-American lawyer who moved to the U.S. after surviving Khmer Rouge rule and has returned to her homeland to become a social activist. She says the current government of Prime Minister Hun Sen is autocratic and unjust, "which oppresses its citizens, which keeps its own citizens in prison for personal gain."
A separate demonstration held earlier Sunday by people evicted from their land without adequate compensation went more peacefully.

Hang onto the metal clip. It's your steering wheel as you fly across the treetops. It's also your lifeline, connecting you to the cable above. Manage your speed and the adrenaline rush by either leaning way back with your feet forward (for maximum zip) or dangle your feet to be less aerodynamic. Your choice. Just remember to get a foot forward in time to land on the platform and avoid the tree. Especially the big one with the active bee hive nested just above. And for goodness sake, don't yank on a vine and risk a rainfall of fire ants!
Ready? Here's the video:
Ziplining in Puerto Rico:
Our morning with Yunke Zipline Adventure was one of the highlights of August 2010 trip to Puerto Rico and Vieques. Our rendezvous point was a covered basketball court at the side of a narrow road in Luquillo. "It's the only one on the left," Jaime assured me. From there we followed our guides to get our gear, be briefed on the adventure and start the hike up to our first zipline. Situated just outside of the El Yunque National Forest in the Luquillo Rainforest at the end of a winding dirt road on private land, one is unlikely to locate Yunke Zipline Adventure by accident. Calling or emailing a few days ahead of your proposed date is highly recommended. I highly recommend Yunke Zipline Adventure as well.7 Comments

This week, the nation's top farm machinery engineers will discuss the latest advancements in farm machinery as part of the 2013 Agricultural Machinery Conference in Waterloo, IA. But first, they will take a look back at the machinery made decades ago.
On day one of this three-day conference, engineers are taking a self-guided tour at Antique Acres, an antique tractor museum in rural Cedar Falls. The museum holds old-time and valuable collections of farm machinery. Founded in 1964, Antique Acres is best known for its yearly Old Time Power Show in August, where you can view all kinds of farming equipment, from antique garden tractors to powerful steam engines.
If you haven't been to the museum yet, here are some snapshots of what you'll see on display.

The Vikings grabbed Floyd with the 23rd pick, Rhodes with the 25th and then gave up second, third, fourth and seventh round picks to New England to get back into the first round and take Patterson at No. 29.
Rick Spielman stepped to the podium with a big smile on his face, elated that his Minnesota Vikings were able to land Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.
Just when he thought an already productive night was over, the general manager cut a press briefing short and sprinted back to the team's draft room for one more deal. The receiver they coveted was still on the board, and New England was a willing trade partner.
Moments later, the Vikings were on the clock again, landing Tennessee receiver Cordarrelle Patterson in a binge that addressed needs at three of the team's thinnest positions.
"Sorry about that," a chuckling Spielman said to a group of reporters he left in the lurch.
The Vikings grabbed Floyd with the 23rd pick, Rhodes with the 25th and then gave up second, third, fourth and seventh round picks to New England to get back into the first round and take Patterson at No. 29, capping a dizzying 30-minutes at the end of the first night of the draft.
The Vikings entered the draft coming off a surprising playoff run last year and with major needs in the secondary, at receiver, linebacker and defensive tackle.
Floyd had 13 tackles for loss and 6½ sacks for the Gators as a junior last season. He was initially projected to go in the top 10 of the first round, but tumbled thanks to a run on offensive linemen higher in the draft. The Vikings have a history of taking Gators who tumbled after scoring big with receiver Percy Harvin in 2009.
With Kevin Williams aging and younger players like LeTroy Guion and Christian Ballard still relatively unproven, the Vikings jumped at the chance to stop Floyd's slide down the board.
"I went through a thousand scenarios at that 23rd and 25th pick and I can tell you honestly he was not in one of those scenarios," Spielman said. "So for him to fall down to our lap, there were some conversations as he fell to potentially even move up. But as the names kept falling off the board, we had more than enough options to just sit there and let everything fall to us. And when Sharrif fell to us, it was something that was very unexpected."
Floyd was surprised to land with the Vikings, but excited to learn under Williams, one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL over the last eight years.
"I couldn't have been part of a better ball club," Floyd said. "I'm excited to get started."
After taking the big defensive tackle, the Vikings then went for a big cornerback in Rhodes to help take on some of the big receivers in the NFC North like Detroit's Calvin Johnson and Chicago's Brandon Marshall. He had four interceptions and 12 pass breakups as a junior last season and will help atone for the loss of trusted veteran Antoine Winfield, who signed with Seattle after being released due to salary cap concerns.
Spielman said they received several trade offers at 25, but the need for a cornerback to come in and play opposite Chris Cook was too great.
"Him and Floyd were two of the players that we said we will not trade out for," Spielman said.
Then came the biggest move the night, when the Vikings paid a hefty to price to jump back into the first round for Patterson, a raw receiver with only one season of major college experience. He was a junior college transfer at Tennessee, but his ability to make plays after the catch and in the return game proved too much for the Vikings to pass up.
"We were very, very aggressive to go do that because I know what he can do as a receiver, but especially what he can do as a potential punt and kickoff returner," Spielman said. "Because he is magic in that area as well."
Patterson had 46 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns last year and said he feels a sense of responsibility to the Vikings after they gave up so much to draft him. He also had three rushing touchdowns, a punt return for a touchdown and a kick return for another score.
"It means a lot to me," Patterson said. "From not expecting to be on the Vikings, it was great to see all that they gave up to get me. I feel like I can be a great player for them."
The one need the Vikings weren't able to address on Thursday night was middle linebacker, where there still is not a starting caliber player on the roster. Many believed the Vikings would use one of their picks on Notre Dame's Manti Te'o. But he was on the board all three times the Vikings were on the clock and they passed each time.
As it stands now, the Vikings do not have a pick on Friday, when the second and third rounds will be held. But coach Leslie Frazier said they could still address middle linebacker on Saturday, and did leave open the possibility of trading back up again.
"The draft is not over," Frazier said. "We have some guys on our roster that can compete for the position and we still have some time to maybe bring in a young guy as well."

Parents speak into their kids' dating choices, plus Paul and Virginia Friesen embrace the role of mate screeners, and a question about dating an 18 year old. Featured musical artist: North Point Music
[23:16] -
Invite Mom and Dad into my love life? No way! Well, think again. Our parents tend to know us well, and if they're willing (especially if they are wise), should be given the right to speak into our dating decisions.

Cannabis Fairy Costume
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Katie, the 'Cannabis Fairy' costume creator:
You will need:
- Green dress (mine was free from a friend who owns a consignment shop)
- Pair of green pointy wings (rounded wings don't match the look)
- Rastafarian striped socks ($6 at Spencer Gifts)
- Green shoes
- Wooden wand
- Felt
- Paint
- Ribbon
- Appliques, fabric cut outs, etc for finishing touches
- Scissors
This costume is low budget but still original and cute. You can add your own modifications if you desire, such as sewing cannabis leaves on the dress, different makeup, etc.
How I made the wand: I bought a flower shaped piece of wood with a stick attached and painted it green. I glued a felt cut out to each side of the wand, and green ribbons too.
How I altered the dress: I cut the bottom to make it shorter because it was an awkward length to begin with, but I also made it pointy based off of Tinkerbell's dress.
My accessories: plastic hemp leaf from The Body Shop during a promotion for their hemp seed oil products, wooden beaded necklace (known as "jungle beads"), pony bead marijuana cuff, striped rasta colored knee high socks and "raver kandi"
What I would have changed: I would have gotten different color contacts, preferably lime green because the standard UV reactive green did not meet my expectations. The wings were from Big Lots and really cheap, and they eventually broke so I would get a higher quality pair of wings.
Approx. cost: $15-20
